Abstract excerpt
Recently in our laboratory, Streptomyces sp. 139 has been identified to produce a new exopolysaccharide designated EPS 139A that shows anti-rheumatic arthritis activity. The strategy of studying EPS 139A biosynthesis is to clone the key gene in the EPS biosynthesis pathway, i.e. the priming glycosyltransferase gene catalyzing the first step of nucleotide sugar transfer. Degenerate primers-based PCR approach was...
